FOLDING FURNITURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 13, 1919.

Application filed July 2, 1918. Serial No. 243,047.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREJ ZABAWA, a citizen of Poland, residing at Shawenegan Falls, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Furniture, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in folding furniture, and particularl to tables andvchairs, the main objecto the invention being to provide a table or stand having combined therewith a plurality of seats conveniently arran ed when in an extended position, or whic may be so folded as to occupy no room other than that taken by the table, such furniture combination being extremely convenient for use upon lawns, parks and the like for picnics and other like purposes. 7 a

This and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanyin drawings, forming a material part of t is disclosure,v and in which Figure 1 is a side elevational view, showing a table and chairs made in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal, sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side elevational view, showing the chairs as folded in con nection with the table, and

Fig. 4 is a front "elevational view, lookin from the back of a chair when in a folde position.

The invention comprises a rectangular platform or base 14, having central exten-' sions 15, at each of its four sides, while rigidly engaged upon the top of the platform 14, are columns 16, supporting a plate or table top 18, provided with braces 19 in the usual manner.

Plate-links 20 are engaged by hinges 21 with the extensions 15, and engaged by pins 23 at the outer corners of the llnks 20 are bars 24 connected at their other ends by pins 25 with the chair seats 26, the seats havmg cleats 27 extending across their front lower edge forming an abutment adapted to receive the beveled ends 28 of bars 29 pivoted by the pins 30, to the bars 24, the opposite lower ends of the bars 29, being beveled so as to rest securely upon any substantially level foundation. Chair backs 32 are engaged to the seats 26 by hinges 33, while pivoted to the backs by the pm 34, are arms 35, havin open slots 36, at their lower ends engageaible with pins 38, set in the sides of the seats 26.

The construction of the table is that of an ordinary plain type, while the chairs are comprised of elements so jointed as to be compactly folded against the table, permitting easy transportation of the complete structure, while the several parts may be extended or folded as will be evident.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is. p

In combination, a table having a rectangular top and corner supports extending downwardly from said top, a plate upon which ANDREJ ZABAWA.
